目的：了解巴勒斯坦地区14～18岁男性学生遗传性色觉缺陷(CVD)的患病率，并与其他东西方国家进行比较。

方法：从巴勒斯坦纳布卢斯省随机挑选634名年龄在14～18岁的男性受试者，并使用Ishihara假同色法进行筛选。Ishihara假同色法筛查不合格的受试者用Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue测试计算机软件进行进一步测试。

结果：在634男性参与者中，597名被纳入研究，其中8.0%(48名男性)表现出红绿色觉缺陷。48名男性中，有5.4%、2.3%和0.3%分别表现出绿色觉异常、红色觉异常和总色觉缺陷(单色性)。

结论：巴勒斯坦纳布卢斯省男校学生红绿色觉缺陷的患病率与周边及西方国家的男性无显著差异。

METHODS: Six hundred and thirty-four male subjects(n=634)aged 14-18 from Palestinian Governorate of Nablus were randomly selected and screened using Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates. Subjects who failed Ishihara screening were tested further with computer software of Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test.

RESULTS: Out of the 634 male participants, 597 were included in the study and 8.0% of them(48 males)demonstrated red-green CVD. 5.4%, 2.3% and 0.3% of the 48 males exhibited deutan, protan and total color vision deficiency(monochromacy), respectively.

CONCLUSION: The results show that the prevalence of red-green CVD among the male school children from Palestinian Governorate of Nablus is not significantly different from that of male populations in nearby and Western countries.
